The IAFF is collaborating with Novartis Pharmaceuticals on a campaign to raise our members awareness on the dangers of high blood pressure. For those who are unaware, Novartis provided free blood pressure screenings in the exhibit area during convention. More than 400 of our members took advantage of this opportunity. We are looking for members who have taken steps to control their blood pressure. The method used isn’t important. We are not endorsing any product or medication. The campaign is simply to raise awareness and to encourage members to discuss treatment options with their physician. Please contact Jim Brinkley's office if they have any members who would like to participate in this important campaign. We have found member testimonials to be a key factor in other members seeking assistance in health and wellness programs. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Jim Brinkley
